Tony Bennett discusses racism and Sammy Davis Jr
The Hudson Union Society http://www.hudsonunionsociety.com is where today #39;s leaders come to discuss tomorrow #39;s ideas. If you live not to far from New York, please join us in person. At an age when most of his contemporaries are enjoying retirement, Tony Bennett is still at the top of his game with no intention of slowing down. And why should he? He continues to sell out venues across the globe, performs regularly in front of diehard fans from every generation, and his extraordinary voice retains its peerless magic. When his most recent album Duets II, a collaboration with some of music #39;s biggest names, debuted at #1 on the Billboard charts in 2011, Bennett made music history at 85 as the oldest artist ever to achieve a #1 album. Over the course of his 60-year career he has sold millions of albums, is a 17-time Grammy winner, and multiple Emmy award winner. With such classics as I left My Heart in San Francisco, Fly Me to the Moon, Perfectly Frank, MTV Unplugged: Tony Bennett, and Here #39;s to the Ladies, he has sold over 50 million albums. A testament to Bennett #39;s unprecedented longevity in a notoriously fickle industry, his latest three Grammy nominations make him the only artist in history to have a 50-year span of Grammy nominations. As he puts it, "I like what I do, and my ambition is to get better as I get older."From:hudsonunionsocietyViews:0 0ratingsTime:01:29More inEntertainment
